My uncle used to maintain repair and test fly them.
the jet provost was mainly used for training at an raf base in lincolnshire,cant remember the name of the place but i think its just off the a17 between sleaford and newark.
One tiny oversight
One very expensive rebuild

Apparently it does and even comes complete with ejector seats and harnesses. I wonder how much it would take to fit them to the GTR :D.

Someone has asked whether he has the facility to take off so that they can fly it back to Cornwall and he replied yes :D

It might well run - but I doubt it is airworthy or it would be worth a hell of a lot more money - it does look in good order though 8)

it has now been withdrawn from sale sadly :cry:

Cool,

Always wanted to fly these but they got withdrawn a little while before I could as an air cadet. :(

There are a few in private hands, so I doubt it would be that hard to get it up to scratch.
